And Nathan, bless his heart, as chair of any local party, handles authority in the same manner as an 11-year old with a rifle. They're just as liable to injure themselves as anyone else. I'm just saying.

So a faculty member should be out looking for a new job if he/she had done this, since a faculty or staff member should have known better. But a student on the other hand may not have known better, and made a BIG mistake.I don't think expulsion is warranted, but said student could probably use some additional education, perhaps in the form of fines (to be donated to the Republican Party of the county or city). Justice will be done, and he'll have learned an important lesson, yet be able to go on from there.

If a student sent the message, that student should be fired from his/her job. That's very different from expelling from the university, which I absolutely would not support. This is a "firable" offense, not an "expellable" offense.
